Our Thanksgiving

Okay, so since it's been over a week since thanksgiving happened I thought I better share some of our photos. We drove to Atlanta to visit Doug's family. Grandma Bev was able to join us from Utah and finally meet Luke. It was fun to see everyone. The night we came in we had dinner with Mike and Sher.

The next day was Thanksgiving.
Doug started out the day early running the Atlanta Half Marathon!! He ran it in 1:37!
We brought a banner that Max and Mer made to decorate.

Meredith set the table and made placecards and napkin rings.

Everyone helped make dinner. Check out that turkey!!

We gave thanks and had a feast.

Later we went on a walk. Mer and Max were so excited to be able to crunch in the fallen leaves, something we have few of in Florida.

Doug even got in a little skate time

Friday morning Grandpa made his puppy pancakes

We went to the mall and rode the "Pink Pig", Grandpa and Luke sat out, no babies allowed. Doug was a little humiliated that a ticket was purchased for him to sit by himself.



Later the kids played outside, raked leaves to jump in and rolled down the hill in the back yard. Brandma Bev even got in on the action and pitched a few to Max.


All said and done it was a great thanksgiving vacation!!
The car ride home was a two hours longer than expected (just like on the way up) ugh!! This was the view in the back seat as the kids watched their one movie before the laptop battery wore out.
We had tons of fun but are glad to be home getting ready for Christmas.
